New Trends in Psychoanalysis in Times of Covid-19

Friday 26th June 2020

 

Continuing with the special IPA webinars in which we discuss topics related to the current time of COVID-19, we have invited three renowned IPA psychoanalysts - one from each region – to talk about their experiences and their thoughts on how they see the psychoanalytic clinic today and possible questions regarding the future of psychoanalysis.

The presenters will be José Carlos Calich from Brazil, Giovanni Foresti from Italy and Glen Gabbard from the USA.  The moderator will be Martina Burdet Dombald from Spain.  

Since its beginning, psychoanalysis has been undergoing theoretical-clinical transformations, in the face of subjective changes and the respective new demands that arise from them. We have all recently experienced very significant changes that both affect us and bring new questions. Therefore, the aim of this webinar is to think about what type of changes the analysts have experienced in patient sessions and in themselves. How do they imagine the future of the clinic and the developments to come? How can this change the way we train young candidates?

With their participation, we seek to promote a consistent debate on subjects that are increasingly important.
